Chapter 42 - Rotten Humanity “Sue, don’t look.” “Ah…” Sue was on her knees, in complete dismay. I covered her eyes with my hands, to not let her see the sisters’ corpses. In the square, about 10 sisters had been affixed, arms wide, on crosses. A considerable amount of time seemed to have passed since their death: the bodies had dried up to the point they looked like black mummies. Crows had gathered around the crosses, attracted by the stench of dead meat, but the sisters’ bodies were so…

Chapter 43 - The Colony’s Shadows “W-We had no other choice!! Do you even know what happens to those who dare oppose Lord Drake!? They’re captured, taken to the palace, and tortured without mercy!! We are only trying to protect ourselves here!!” The man spat excuse after excuse, trying to justify their position. I sat through his desperate speech, unfazed, then grinned sarcastically. “Is that so? I bet these sisters would have liked to save their own lives too,…

Chapter 44 - Plotting in the DarkThat night, I visited the mansion designated by the old man. The building, located on the outskirts of the town, was completely dark: no lights were on, as if it was deserted. I had Sue and Sakuya return to the ship first: if anything happened, they were to leave me and escape from the port. I knocked on the backdoor five times, as the old man requested. “I have been expecting you. Please, this way.” The door was opened by the same old man I met earlier that day, now…

Chapter 45 - Protests, Excuses, and Intercourse After the midnight meeting was done, I returned to the ship, anchored at the port. In the captain’s cabin I used as a bedroom, Sakuya and Sue were on the bed. They were both fully naked, for some reason: Sue was lying down, as if in defeat, and Sakuya was on top of her, arms crossed with pride. “I have won today. Technique proves superior to power.” “...really. Good for you.” Sakuya had exacted her revenge, apparently. Despite her usual lack of…

Chapter 46 - Five in the Forest, Before the Raid The night of the following day… I stepped inside the forest close to the palace where Drake usually resided. The sky was heavy with clouds, hiding the moon and stars: the perfect weather for an ambush. “Which is all well and good…but why are you here, again?” When Sakuya and I reached the site the minister Lauros had told us about, for some reason Sue, Roh, and even Xiao Mao came after us, despite not being of any help in a fight. “Ah, I thought I…

Chapter 32 - The Battle Ends Another ship was rocked by explosions. “How…fearsome.” Sakuya was looking at the pirate ship going down in flames, her face paler than usual. After slaying all the pirates on the ship we’d boarded, we were observing the surrounding vessels. Of the circa 200 ships that composed the pirate fleet, more than half had already sunk. Before our eyes, another large ship was keeling over, dragging the smaller ships around it to the depths of the sea. “Who would have thought…

Chapter 39 - Seeker of Salvation 【POV: A certain country’s minister】 “What a bizarre question. Is it strange for a pirate to engage in acts of cruelty?” “No, that is not what I…it seems to me that…you do not take pleasure in torture, governor.” Carefully picking my words, I finally asked the question that had been weighing on my mind. During my tenure as minister, I have had the chance to witness the darkness lying in the hearts of many men and women. Among them, there were those…

Chapter 33 - The Man who Fled and the Insolent Messenger In a small town located to the north of Brutos… The governor put in charge of the port town of Brutos, who had abandoned the city out of fear of the pirates’ attack — a man named Baraquemo Lant — was positively delighted by the good news. “Ooh! Really, is that so! The pirates’ attack has been successfully thwarted?” “Yes, all the pirates who landed were either beaten back or captured. The rest fled back to the…
